Sugar Kelp

This print was made using a piece of sugar kelp collected during an exceptionally low tide on the Menai Strait, Anglesey. A marine biologist from Bangor’s School of Ocean Sciences helped me identify the right location and timing to gather it — as sugar kelp grows further out and is only accessible at the lowest tides.

This was actually made as a test print for two larger pieces which are now hanging in a beautiful restaurant called Vraic on the Island of Gurnesey.  I'd never worked with such a large, floppy specimen before so wanted to be sure I could lift a print and then flatten the piece after printing.  This piece is not perfect and an unusual size.  It measures 27cm wide by 114cm tall approximately.
